I had a longhorn cowfish I named Bob because he used to poke his head out of the water to be fed, and would surf the powerhead flow around the tank.

Shark bait that is awesome, Steve Buscemi LOL

Some of the names I have are very interesting mainly because of the thought that Goes into them.
Flame wrasse- Dee because the show Its Always Sunny. Dee gets set on fire
Lineatus wrasse- Linus because well
Naoko wrasse- Kevin because Nako is slang for Mexican trash that name their kids white people names like Kevin. Seriously!
Orange Back wrasse- Davie because 1956 Topps Orange back baseball card for Davie Crockett
Purple Tang- PeeDee because I went to ECU and their colors are purple and Gold and the mascot name is PeeDee
Whitetail Bristletooth Tang- Terry with a silent C because Ctenochaetus Genus
AchillesXWhitecheeck Hybrid-Ferdinand because Ferdinand Porsche created the first hybrid car.
Clownfish- Violent J and Shaggs because of the Insane Clown Posse
Starry Blenny- Andy because of his big bushy eyebrows just like Andy Rooney.

It's always funny when we tell people the names of our fish.

I got a female mandarin plainly named "Lassie" and a male named "Ao Shun" after the Dragon King of the North Sea in Chinese mythology.
For a while I also had a fighting conch named "Major Snigelsworth", Snigel being the Swedish word for snail, lol.

Porcupine puffer in my first tank years ago was named Fatboy (although my work colleague -- the tank was at my office then -- insisted on calling him Max)

Small tank now has some watchmen gobies and had lawnmower blennie or two over the years. My daughters named one of them Tata -- I really don't know who got that moniker.

I think my favorite, though, is Quick Jake, which my daughters named a falco hawkfish. (He was a little too quick and swam himself right out of the tank one day........ I found him on the floor behind the tank but never admitted that to the girls......)

My favorite is the name given to our Kole Tang,....Roscoe, full name-Roscoe P. Kole Tang.

My boys named our zebra eel Toothless after How to Train Your Dragon. At the time they didn't care that our eel actually had teeth. Many years later they still don't care despite knowing otherwise.

When I had my 3 pajama cardinals they were names Jerry, George and Kramer. I knew which one was Jerry because he was the boss of the pack. But I couldn't tell the other two apart.

My dart fish for some reason the wife named after her brother. Maybe because we'd see it for a day and then not for two days.

My fishers angelfish was named jackass. Because, well... you can figure it out. But he didn't last long and went back to the store.

I forgot what I named my current two clowns were called but that's ok because my 2 year old just calls them both Nemo.
